http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/stats/957817105 I hvw posted a cut down versoin of the Fenrir 6.0 compatable and size class 4, if the author wants me to remove I will do so. I just wanted to show that it can be done without too much damage to the original design.

I have joined and BTW I hav already done a 6.0 / size class 4 conversion of the Fenrir it is republished as doomship I will insure in comments it is credited to you.

Thanks. Btw you could join the Space Moles group: http://steamproxy.net/groups/spacemoles
and start a thread about your modifications, Vic and I have been talking about the viability of stripped out variants but we aren't sure which ships would be best suited. Any pointers could prove invaluable ;)

BTY Im sorry I did not say this, it looks amazing

We may only be mere builders, but we do understand. As I said, part of our "upgrade" process is to replace all exterior lights with flares, coupled with quite a harsh optimisation pass on lights this yields good results on the larger ships. It is unfortunate that the bar has been set so low with regards to the size class and what is/isn't considered performant by the devs. We do have some smaller ships in the fleet, but because we aren't PVP orientated they aren't battle-hardened designs.

Nicely done I have to say.

the issue with the pipes and lights is that the triangle a=count enters into the size class equation and that along with the reduction of devices is mainly how I manage to drop the size class (believe me if they allowed size class 9 ships I would use them as is ) also consider using more flares as they dont figure into the equation for size class. and this is not really a dissent it is more of as you said a fustrarion.

@doomslay (continued)
With regard to lights; I'm a fan of gloom, I try not to fill interior spaces with disco lighting, I realize there are a good number of our ships with external lights, this is one of the many fixes required for our collection.
I'm glad you managed to modify at least some of our ships to suit your needs and I'm sorry if you feel frustrated you can't use more.
As for size class being displayed in red, anything above class 5 is displayed like this, regardless of server limits.
On a final note, Thank you for taking the time to comment, even dissent is welcome!

@doomslay Sorry, but I can't help myself; I like to build big things and I like them to be fairly detailed. If you have a specific request it would much more productive of you to contact us with that request. Please bear in mind however that we are gamers and as such, like to have fun. Maintaining and updating this growing library of blueprints is starting to feel like a job and our backlog of fixes and updates just keeps growing.
With regard to deco blocks; we are aware of the performance cost but feel that an empty ship is an unloved ship.
With regard to the cool looking BS pipes and bazillion extra triangles; it's no longer an issue on modern GPUs as their texel fill rate is astonishing. We can only profile our builds on the hardware we have.
continued because 100 char limit on comments...

you know I wish you guys would STOP posting size class 9 CVs I play on HWS and CVs are capped at size class 4 I have taken a few ships from the work shop and then I have to remove all of the Deco blocks and then the BS cool looking pipes that push the triangle count And good lord don't get me started about all the Lights I have managed to cut 2 CVs that I really loved from Class 9 to 4 without substantially changing the looks of the ship so it can be done (BTW I couldn't help noticing that the ship was red in your own list)
